chapter 30
< Grandpa’s Big Promise >
Grandpa chuckled.
“what? Take Taesung Chemical from Woogwang? Do you think this is stealing a friend’s toy?”
“What if you could?”
“Business is not so easy.”
“So, just in case. If you don’t have those 30 billion shackles, will you allow my mom and dad to get married?”
“Hmm, then I don’t have any reason to oppose this marriage.”
good!
“But the problem is that it is not as easy as it sounds. As a child, you don’t know yet how complex and difficult it is to deal with money, people, and interests in a business.”
A 30 billion dollar business.
In the 21st century, it is a company worth about 1.5 trillion won, so how heavy are those shackles?
Grandpa stroked my hair.
“Someday, when you grow up a little, the day will come when you will know. At that time, would you like to understand this grandfather a little bit?”
“No matter how complex or difficult it is, it is ultimately what people do.”
My grandfather’s hand that was stroking my hair stopped.
“If you have the courage and will to solve it, there is nothing you can’t do. ”
I held my grandfather’s hand.
I patted the back of my grandfather’s hand lightly.
“Do not worry. Everything will be fine.”
It was a small cheer from me.
“Trust me once. Me and my dad too.”
This was a small consolation I gave.
‘I’ve already planned to gulp Taesung Chemical!’
Grandpa looked at me with strange eyes.
He looked down at his hand as I patted him.
A large, wrinkled hand and a small, plump hand like a bracken.
We were all different in size, complexion, and thickness, but we were somehow similar.
“I believe. Why can’t I trust my son Because I believed in it, even if I only went outside…”
Grandpa stopped talking to himself softly and stubbornly kept his mouth shut.
Instead, you put your other hand on top of mine.
It was warm.
“Grandpa, don’t go.”
“Since you’ve come this far, I heard you’re playing with me?”
This time, I decided to write Child’s Privilege.
My father made me look like that, so I have to let go of my son, so there’s less resentment left.From noble mtl dot com
No matter how family you are, no, you need more delicate after-sales service because you are a family.
“Make a snowman with me. I mean, I’ve never made a snowman before. yes?”
Of course this is a lie.
Since my Kang-woo was little, he used to make a snowman often.
“Do that with your dad. Isn’t it too much of a waste to give away the first snowman to Grandpa?”
“What’s wrong? You can make it with grandpa, then make it with dad again.”
“Kuhm!”
“are you busy? Then just make one together. yes? Can’t you?”
“Kuhm! Then… there is only one.”
Grandpa glanced at the snow field.
“I don’t know anything else about this old woman, but she’s pretty good at rolling. Good eyes, good money, good business, good subordinates.”
Grandpa rolled up his arms.
Then secretary Kim came running with a serious face and pulled down the grandfather’s sleeve.
“You have a cold.”
“I’m still not so skinny as to catch a cold over something like this.”
Secretary Kim took out a pair of leather gloves.
“You wear gloves.”
“You can’t do anything without gloves?
I also shook my head.
“If Grandpa doesn’t wear gloves, I won’t either. If Grandpa rolls up his sleeves, I will too. I am the grandson of my grandfather.”
“Kuhm! I can’t stand it, but my golden grandson shouldn’t catch a cold. Secretary Kim, gloves!”
“Here it is.”
Grandpa and I put on our gloves and went into the snow side by side.

While the grandsons are building a snowman.
Secretary Kim and Chief Koh stood side by side under the eaves and watched them.
Chief Koh, a muscular giant, crossed his arms with a pleased expression.
“I don’t think it’s been a long time since I’ve seen the president so happy.”
Secretary Kim agreed.
“Yes, you look very good.”
“The vitality and vitality that children give is truly amazing. Does it make you smile just by looking at it?”
“well.”
Secretary Kim did not agree this time.
“The reason why the president looks like that is probably because the other person is Master Jeong Hyuk.”
Chief Ko looked at Secretary Kim with a new look.
“Isn’t that not like Kim Young-geol?”
“Watch and you will find out.”
The eyes, which should have been coldly shining through the silver-rimmed glasses, softened today.
Looking at Secretary Kim like that, Chief Goh made a strange expression.
“Is that enough?”
“He is a very special person.”
“Hmm.”

Grandpa brushed his hands.
“I have to stop halving now.”
“I only made seven snowmen? Grandpa, grandma, dad, mom, me, eldest dad, and little dad. I heard you have an aunt?”
“Make the rest with your dad. This one, do you know how many snowballs this old woman has rolled?”
“Seven torsos and seven heads, so I only rolled fourteen in total?”
“I mean, you rolled fourteen rolls just because you only rolled two, right?”
Grandpa even brushed off the hem of my clothes.
Before I knew it, my gloves were wet, my clothes were wet, my sneakers were wet, and my hair was wet.
Thanks to that, I shivered every time the cold wind blew in the middle of winter.
“I can’t. My golden baby can’t catch a cold. Just go in.”
“It doesn’t matter if it gets a little wet.”
“It’s a snowman, you can make it again next time. Halaebi should go now.”
“Then promise!”
I stuck out my little finger.
Originally, I only use my thumb instead of my little finger, and I believe in documents more than words.
I guess this is a child’s privilege.
“Next time you make a family snowman, will you tell me about my father’s childhood?”
“I heard that from your father. Talking so much made my throat dry!”
Grandpa had a relieved expression on his face.
It’s not a forced smile, it’s a sweaty and pleasant smile.
Then I also smiled brightly.
“Thank you so much for the Christmas present, Grandpa.”
“Then let’s go in and open the presents. Secretary Kim!”
“Yes, Chairman.”
Grandpa hugged me and walked out of the snow.
Secretary Kim wiped me with a large bath towel he had already prepared.
Chief Goh played the grandfather.
“Go inside and drink the hot honey water first. You have to keep your stomach warm so you don’t get a stomachache.”
“Are you going to leave like this? Don’t you need this?”
I took a coin purse out of my pocket.
He said he stuffed important things into his pockets every time, so he gave me something like this.
It was a bribe paid to me by the quick-witted bodyguard, self-proclaimed number two, bodyguard Yoo Jong-tae, who claimed to be my limbs.
I took out the folded paper.
It was in pristine condition with not a single drop of water on it.
“Oops! I was completely mesmerized by the grandson’s tricks. Secretary Kim!”
“Yes, Chairman.”
Grandpa handed over the documents I handed over to Secretary Kim.
“We have to pay the bribe we brought.”
“Here you are, young master.”
Secretary Kim handed me an envelope.
“It is a 1% stake in Taesung Construction.”
“Grandpa, aren’t you hitting me too hard?”
Taesung Construction’s stock price has recently gone downhill due to lax management by incompetent presidents and executives.
“Even if it seems small now, if we successfully win the construction of subway line 2, it will rise significantly soon.”
“Even a 10 million won first-place housing lottery is 100 won before winning.”
No matter what happens later, at the current market price, 1% of shares in Taesung Construction are not worth 100 million won.
“Are you saying you’re going to eat it after all?”
“Taesung Construction belongs to your father. So it must be much more valuable than other affiliate stocks?”
So you’re saying it’s a limited price?
“Are you going to be condescending by giving me something to give to my dad?”
“Originally, in a company, the majority shareholder is the king. If it’s the stock you got from the grandfather, your dad won’t be able to move on from you either?”
Grandpa said boldly.
I clicked my tongue.
this is not my style
“I have no intention of stealing my father’s rice bowl. So, I’d like to get one from another company instead of this one.”
I pushed back the envelope containing Taesung Construction shares.
But Grandpa didn’t.
“That doesn’t work. No matter how pretty my grandson is, I can’t take away even my child’s bowl of food.”
It was said that other affiliates belonged to other children.
“Whether it is a borrowed name or not, if you hand over 100 million won worth of shares in other affiliates of the Taesung Group to one person, the entire group turns upside down. So, it was an unacceptable request in the first place.”
i don’t know that
“I can’t embarrass my grandfather. Then, instead of Taesung, I’ll take it from another company.”
“Another company? Is it because you think Taesung Chemical will fall into your hands?”
There’s no use in thinking like that.
Taesung Chemical is the company I will send to my mother’s coma.
I have to take care of my share.
‘My share will be much greater than that. There’s going to be a dinosaur for sale that’s going to shock the whole country soon because of the oil shock.’
Grandpa gave a sneaky bluff.
“Let’s say Taesung Chemical is taken away from you. Then your eldest father and eldest father, as well as your aunt, will not stand still. Your mother and father will be in great trouble.”
“Then not Taesung Chemical.”
I also secretly decided to encourage my grandfather.
“It’s like a new company or a bankrupt company. It’s not expensive.”
“Oh, do you want to buy an unlisted company or a company worth taking over? It’s a gift method that a lot of people use.”
Even though I said it on purpose, you understand it perfectly!
Grandpa nodded happily.
“good. If that’s the case, there’s nothing I can’t listen to. Instead of Taesung Construction shares, let’s buy another company!”
nice!
I’ve been waiting for this right now!
The reason why he put forward the terms of the bribe that needed to be negotiated from the beginning was because he wanted to get this promise by negotiating with his grandfather.
“You promise?”
“of course. Grandpa has that level of ability.”
nice! That’s it!
“So that’s what I mean.”
I smiled and took out a new folded piece of paper from my coin purse and held it out.
“That promise, write it down here.”
“…”
“I believe in documents more than words, and signed seals more than pinky promises.”
“…”
Grandpa looked back at Secretary Kim.
“As expected, he is my grandson. did you see You can’t lie with blood?”
It was a happy looking face.
Secretary Kim nodded with a pleased expression, and Chief Koh opened his mouth wide in contemplation.
Either that or not.
“Should I completely, completely, completely hand over the company to me?”
“So you’re saying that 100% of the shares are yours, so don’t touch them? How much does an unlisted company or a ruined company do? That’s enough for me to make one today.”
“You sincerely, together, and unconditionally help me if necessary?”
“You want me to cooperate wholeheartedly? of course. I’m never rude when it comes to company work. You have to work hard to grow even one properly.”
This is a satisfactory answer.
I took a Montblanc fountain pen from my coat pocket and put it in my grandfather’s hand.
“Write that down too.”
“…”
Grandpa looked back at Secretary Kim.
“He is also my baby. pretty i’m going to die Yes, seven years old should be this much.”
Chief Ko finally dropped the bath towel he was holding.
“Chairman, are you really okay with this?”
“What’s not going to happen? Unlisted company gift? A merger or acquisition initiative? Do you think I can’t even bring you that much of a gift?”
Grandpa wrote down without hesitation.
After making sure to sign and seal, he handed me a memorandum, no, an IOU.
‘and!’
Of course, it shone a hundred times brighter than the papers of this mansion.
It was a document that was so bright that it was blinding, incomparable to an incandescent light bulb.
